Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

This scheme reduces wander due to heat build-up in drilling multilayer circuit
boards.

The spindle 10 holding the drill bit 12 is designed to ride up and down on a
rotating shaft. This allows the drill bit 12 to be raised and lowered several times,
taking short and precise bits of material. As the drill bit rises out of the board
between bites, it passes through a refrigerated or cryogenetically cooled guide
plate 14. This keeps the drill bit 12 cooled, allows for a reference point, and
guides the drill bit.

Laminated insulated metal foils 16 and 18 are placed on the bottom of the
circuit board. When the drill bit 12 makes continuity between layers, a counter
automatically counts the number of holes drilled.

A switch senses conduction between the guide plate 14 and the drill spindle.
If the drill bit is off location and hits any portion of the guide plate, the drilling
stops and the drill bit is recentered or replaced.
